Why is the rbsu/graphical BIOS options, F8/F9/F10/del stuff so obscure or something?

[Andrew_Ph]

How do I get back to the graphical setup screen on proliants in general, all I see is hitting F9, and I get a command line rbsu. Maybe I am just temporarily blind or?

Also, is it normal for a dual power supply to pull all the Amps from one side, and the other is only for backup, not even load? I would like to change that if possible. I have a meter on one side, and its showing 90W, presumably the modems, routers, and wifi points also plugged into that UPS mostly. The whole thing is pulling about 400W, I think. Which doesnt make sense, actually, from 1U power units. I must investigate....

You can adjust the power supply behavoiur in power options in BIOS.

What you currently have is likely the most efficient.

@Torsten. 

I found an option called BIOS Interface mode. I think I am supposed to do something like SET OPTIONS ....., or SHOW OPTIONS ....., but what? the whole thing in quotes?
